Fire-Retardant Moss for Commercial Interiors and Installations
Preserved moss has become a defining material in commercial interior design, from moss walls in restaurants and hotels through to biophilic office installations and retail fit-outs. For projects in public-facing or regulated spaces, fire safety compliance is a practical requirement, and this is where fire-retardant moss provides a clear advantage over standard preserved moss.
This collection brings together fire-retardant moss from Verdissimo, certified to classification B-s1, d0 under the European standard UNE-EN 13501-1:2019. Available in ball moss and flat moss varieties across a range of natural green tones, it is suited to commercial installations where both aesthetic quality and fire safety documentation are required.
Common applications include moss walls and feature panels in restaurants, bars, and hotels, biophilic installations in offices and corporate reception spaces, and retail fit-outs where fire-retardant materials are specified.

Understanding the B-s1, d0 Fire Safety Classification
The B-s1, d0 classification is issued under the European standard UNE-EN 13501-1:2019, which governs the fire reaction performance of construction and finishing products. The three elements each address a distinct fire behaviour:
B indicates that the material is combustible but contributes very little to the propagation of fire, placing it in the highest category for combustible materials under this standard.
s1 denotes low or very limited smoke production during exposure to fire.
d0 confirms that no flaming droplets or particles are produced during fire exposure.
Together, these ratings make B-s1, d0 certified moss suitable for regulated commercial environments, including restaurants, hotels, offices, and public buildings. If you are unsure whether this certification meets the requirements of your specific project or building regulations, we recommend consulting your fire safety adviser or contractor.
Ball Moss and Flat Moss Varieties
This collection includes fire-retardant moss in two distinct forms, both supplied in 2.5kg bulk boxes by Verdissimo.
Ball moss, also known as pole moss, has a rounded, clustered structure that gives installations a rich, three-dimensional texture. It is well-suited to moss walls and decorative panels where depth and visual interest are the priority. Available in dark green, natural green, and green.
Flat moss offers a smoother, more even surface suited to installations where a uniform finish is required, particularly larger panel work and corporate interiors. Available in green.
Each 2.5kg box covers approximately 0.8 to 1.0m², depending on the variety used and the depth of application.

Fire-Retardant Moss FAQs
What is fire-retardant moss?
Fire-retardant moss is natural moss that has been preserved and additionally treated to meet certified fire safety standards. The moss in this collection carries classification B-s1, d0 under European standard UNE-EN 13501-1:2019, indicating very limited contribution to fire propagation, low smoke production, and no flaming droplets or particles. It is designed for commercial interior installations where fire safety compliance is required.
What does the B-s1, d0 classification mean?
B-s1, d0 is a fire reaction classification under UNE-EN 13501-1:2019. B means the material contributes very little to fire spread, s1 denotes low smoke production, and d0 confirms no flaming droplets or particles during fire exposure. If you need to verify whether this classification meets your specific project or building requirements, we recommend consulting your fire safety adviser.
How much fire-retardant moss do I need?
Each 2.5kg bulk box covers approximately 0.8 to 1.0m², depending on the variety and depth of application. We recommend allowing a modest overage to account for edges and variation in application density. If you have a specific project area in mind, contact the team for guidance on quantities.
How do I care for fire-retardant moss?
Fire-retardant moss is for indoor use only. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, high humidity, and sudden temperature changes. Do not clean with water, as this can affect both the preservation and fire-retardant properties of the product.
Gently dust with a soft brush or cool airflow as needed, and handle carefully during installation to preserve the natural structure. Note that moss can cause colour transfer onto adjacent surfaces, so ensure your installation backing provides adequate separation.
